Ka Malanai at Kailua
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

I looked for explicit owner-occupancy indicators such as a percentage, "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied," and found none. Some remarks mention original owners or second-home use, but those refer to individual units rather than the building-wide occupancy rate. The building’s owner-occupancy percentage remains unknown.
I searched for explicit elevator counts such as "4 elevators," "multiple elevators," or any written number and found none. The remarks only confirm that the building has elevator access, not how many elevators there are. Because no explicit number appears, the exact count remains unknown.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Evidence supports cable being included in the maintenance fee. At least one public remark explicitly says 'HOA includes Spectrum cable,' and the MLS data already shows CABTV checked in 8 of 20 listings, suggesting the feature is legitimately offered even if not every agent marked it.
This is very strong and consistent across the building. With OTCOEX checked in 19 of 20 MLS entries and remarks describing 'other common expenses,' this appears to be a stable building-level fee inclusion rather than isolated agent copy.

The evidence points strongly to hot water not being included. HOTWAT is absent from all 20 MLS entries, while WTRHTR appears in 17 of 20, which is a strong indicator that units have in-unit water heaters rather than HOA-provided hot water.
Internet inclusion is supported by both MLS data and remarks. Several listings check INTSER, and at least one remark clearly states that HOA fees include internet, indicating this is a real building amenity even if not universally marked.
No analysis available
Sewer is one of the clearest building-level inclusions. Every MLS record shows SEWER checked, and remarks confirm it directly, so this feature is extremely reliable.
Water is consistently included across the building. All 20 MLS listings include WATER, and remarks match that pattern, making this a very high-confidence building feature.
Evidence for BBQ is overwhelming and consistent across many listings. Multiple agents describe shared amenities in similar language, suggesting this is a real building feature rather than copied-in error. The current remarks repeatedly reference BBQ areas/grills in common spaces.

Strong evidence across the current remarks: numerous listings explicitly advertise a "lanai", "private lanai", "covered lanai" or "wrap-around lanai" (phrases quoted include "private, generous lanai", "spacious lanai", and "wrap-around lanai"). This corroborates prior MLS checkbox data (historically high confidence) and appears consistently across multiple agents/remarks rather than being an isolated copy-paste error, so the building-level patio/deck amenity should be included.
Several listings explicitly mention on-site paths and fitness circulation, including 'walking paths, lawns, & exercise stations,' 'tropically landscaped grounds boasting a fitness network,' 'strolling paths,' and 'Barbecue, walking path, and exercise circuit are just below.' At least four separate remark sets describe these walking/fitness paths, and 11/20 current MLS entries flag the walking/jogging path amenity. The consistent, detailed language suggests established shared paths integrated into the landscaped grounds.
No analysis available
No listing remarks explicitly describe private or fenced yard space; instead listings consistently describe lanais, landscaped courtyards, garden views, BBQ areas and shared lawns. Only 1/20 MLS records indicate PRIYAR in amenities (appears isolated), and agent copy/paste is likely given the lack of corroborating language like 'private yard' or 'fenced yard' across multiple agents.
No analysis available
There is moderate evidence that the building offers a recreation/amenity area. While only 8 of 20 MLS listings include RECARE and the remarks more often describe related shared spaces than the exact term, references to courtyards, walking paths, exercise stations, and common grounds support inclusion. The evidence looks plausible but less explicit than BBQ.

Multiple listings for this building explicitly mention building storage/lockers — phrases include "secure bike & board storage," "storage for your bikes and kayaks," "common storage area for your bikes, surf or paddle boards," and "generous storage." At least several different agent remarks reference shared storage or limited on-site storage, and MLS amenities checkboxes also list STORAG/ADDLVSTORAG on some listings (3/20) with one listing showing STORAG in unit features, supporting that the building offers storage units/lockers.
The remarks consistently mention surfboard or board storage, often alongside kayak and bike storage. This is clear evidence that the building offers surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
Trash chute appears to be supported mainly by MLS checkbox data rather than the remarks. About 15 of 20 listings include TRACHU, but none of the public descriptions explicitly say "trash chute," "garbage chute," or similar. This is reasonable to include with moderate confidence, but the evidence is less direct than for BBQ.

I searched for phrases like "salt water pool," "saltwater pool," and "saline pool." The remarks mention nearby district park pools and amenities, but there is no evidence that this building has a saltwater pool.
Evidence is overwhelming that Ka Malanai offers in-unit laundry. Current remarks repeatedly mention it across many listings, including phrases like "washer/dryer in the unit," "full size washer and dryer," and "a separate Laundry Rm," which is consistent with the MLS inclusion data showing 20 of 20 listings with WASHER/DRYER. This appears to be a stable building feature, not a one-off agent copy-paste error.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit references to paid laundry such as coin laundry, coin-op, card-operated machines, quarters, or laundry fees. The remarks only describe in-unit laundry or a laundry room, with no public evidence that community laundry requires payment.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like “laundry on each floor,” “laundry room on every floor,” and similar floor-by-floor community laundry references. The listings only mention an in-unit laundry room or separate laundry room, which does not support community laundry on every floor.
Parking is clearly present throughout the building. The remarks repeatedly mention “2 parking stalls,” “one covered parking stall,” “three parking stalls,” and “parking stalls near the elevator,” across many listings and agents. This looks highly consistent and not like a one-off copy-paste error.
Assigned parking is strongly supported by both MLS history and the public remarks. Multiple listings explicitly say “assigned parking,” “reserved parking,” and “three assigned parking stalls,” which appears consistently across different agents. Evidence suggests assigned parking is a standard feature of the building, even if some units vary in count/type.
Covered parking is confirmed by the MLS data and repeated in remarks across the listings. Phrases such as “2 covered parking stalls,” “one covered parking stall,” “covered parking spaces,” and “in the garage” appear many times. This is strong, consistent evidence that covered parking is available in the building.
I looked for explicit deeded-parking wording such as 'deeded parking,' 'owned stall,' or 'parking included in deed,' and did not find it. The repeated references to assigned, covered, and near-elevator stalls suggest parking is included as assigned parking, but not clearly deeded.
No analysis available
I searched for any parking cost language, including monthly fees, rental charges, or additional parking costs, and found none. The remarks discuss the number and location of stalls, but do not state a separate parking price.
Guest parking appears to be an established building feature. Multiple listings specifically mention “guest parking,” “ample guest parking,” and “loads of guest parking,” matching the high recent MLS presence of the guest parking checkbox. The evidence is repeated across different listings and seems reliable rather than copied from a single source.

I looked for parking waitlist or waiting-list language and found nothing. The only list reference in the remarks is for surfboard/storage, not parking, so there is no evidence of a parking waitlist system.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly reference electronic access systems. Mentions of key fob access, FOB’d elevators, and access-controlled elevators strongly support card/fob security for the building.
Security guard service is consistently confirmed across multiple Ka Malanai listings. Current remarks mention it in several ways, including "security patrol," "night time guard service," and "night shift security," which aligns with the historical SECGUA checkbox data. The evidence appears to be from multiple listings/agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
Multiple listings directly mention security patrol and guard coverage. The public remarks also reference an on-site resident manager, which aligns with active security service at the building.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is strongly supported for Ka Malanai. Multiple listings across different agents explicitly mention it, and it is reinforced by the MLS history showing ACCEN in inclusions for all 20 listings and central AC in 17/20 unit features. The evidence is consistent and appears to be a real building feature, not a copy-paste error.

No analysis available
Strong evidence for concrete construction: 12 of 20 MLS listings mark CONCRE and public remarks explicitly describe the development as "solidly built with steel frame and concrete." The concrete/CONCRE designation appears across multiple agents and listings, corroborating earlier high confidence.
I found no public remark that says "double wall," "double-wall construction," or equivalent phrasing. Although current MLS data shows DOUWAL in 17 of 20 listings, the absence of supporting remarks means I cannot validate it from public remarks alone.
No analysis available
Some MLS checkbox activity: 8 of 20 listings mark MASSTU and historical confidence was Medium. However, none of the public remarks explicitly reference "masonry" or "stucco," suggesting the evidence is largely from MLS checkbox entries and may reflect agent copy/paste rather than explicit remark confirmation.
There is direct public-remark evidence for steel frame construction, and it aligns with the strong MLS pattern showing STEFRA in 16 of 20 listings. The wording appears in a detailed listing remark rather than a stray checkbox, so this is strong building-level confirmation.
No substantive evidence for slab foundation: only 3 of 20 MLS listings have SLAB checked and there are zero public remarks referencing a "concrete slab" or slab foundation. With absent historical support and no remark confirmations, the slab designation appears to be agent checkbox noise rather than a documented building feature.
No analysis available
Limited MLS checkbox presence (3/20) but no supporting language in public remarks (no references to "wood frame" or "wood frame construction"). Given absence in narrative descriptions and stronger steel/concrete evidence, wood-frame construction is unlikely for the building.
There are no public remarks referencing "above ground construction," "above ground building," or similar phrases. The MLS signal is mixed and relatively weak for this feature, so the public remarks do not confirm it.

I searched for STR indicators such as 'short-term rental allowed,' 'legal vacation rental,' NUC/TVU references, or minimum-stay rules, and found none. Based on the absence of any STR-related language in these remarks, I am marking it as not allowed, but with moderate confidence because there is no explicit prohibition quoted.
I looked for hotel pool references such as Hilton pool, hotel rental program, managed-by-hotel wording, or resort-style mandatory rental structures, and found nothing. Since there is no evidence that STR is allowed, hotel-pool participation must also be false.
I searched for language indicating mandatory hotel-pool participation, such as required rental programs or no opt-out provisions, and found none. With no evidence of STR allowance or hotel pool operations, there is also no basis for a mandatory pool.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for leasehold language such as 'lease expires,' 'ground lease ends,' 'leasehold,' or any 4-digit expiry year, but found nothing. The listings read like standard fee-simple condo marketing and do not mention any land-tenure expiration.
The public remarks repeatedly reference VA financing and a VA assumable loan, which is strong direct evidence. This supports that the building is VA approved, based on listing language rather than inference.
I searched the public remarks for phrases indicating full HOA/building insurance or walls-in coverage and found no such wording. The listings discuss HOA fees and included utilities, but nothing about insurance scope. Without direct insurance language, this feature is not confirmed.
Evidence is strong and consistent for fire sprinklers. At least one current remark explicitly states the building has a "fire sprinkler system," which confirms the historical high-confidence MLS amenity flag. This appears to be building-level information rather than a unit-specific claim.
I looked for wording indicating the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation, such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, or passed fire inspection, and found nothing. The only safety-related reference was a fire sprinkler system in one remark, which does not confirm the feature. With no direct evidence, this is treated as not confirmed.

Multiple agent remarks across the building explicitly state mountain views (approx. 7 listings in the combined remarks: e.g., "beautiful mountain views", "magical mountain view", "beautiful Koolau mountain views", "majestic Koolau views", "mountains in distance", "peek-a-boo mountain views"). CURRENT MLS also lists MOUNTA for 6 of 20 listings. The evidence is consistent across several listings and agents, indicating the building offers mountain views for at least some units.

Evidence is strong and consistent: 14 of 20 current MLS view_descriptions list GARDEN and numerous agent remarks explicitly state phrases like "lanai overlooking a beautiful garden", "lush, professionally landscaped grounds", and "garden views". Mentions appear across multiple independent listings and agents rather than isolated copy/paste, supporting a building-level garden view feature.

Evidence does not support sunset views for this building. Across the remarks, multiple agents mention mountain, garden, courtyard, park, green, and ocean/sunrise views, but none reference sunset, evening sun, western exposure, or fireworks. The MLS view data also shows no sunset mentions and several NONE entries, reinforcing the absence of this feature.
No analysis available
I searched for wording like “fireworks view,” “watch fireworks from lanai,” or seeing fireworks from the unit/building. The remarks focus on beach, garden, mountain, and courtyard views, but do not indicate a fireworks view from the building.
No analysis available
Evidence is strong across multiple listings for a resident/on-site manager. Current remarks include explicit phrases like "daytime Resident Manager on site" and "an on-site manager," which align with the historical high-confidence MLS flag. The repeated wording across listings suggests a real building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
